'GC' novices make their profession

CEBU: 7th May 2008 --  In the year of the 26th General Chapter with the theme “Return to Don Bosco,” two young men professed to “remain with Don Bosco”  as they embraced a poor, chaste and obedient life with firm intention that this be forever, following the footsteps of our great Father and Teacher. Br. Donnie Duchin Duya (FIN) and Br. Noble Lal (FIS- Pakistan) made their First Profession as Salesians at the Don Bosco Missionary Seminary, Lawaan, Cebu.
    The two new Salesians made their profession before Fr. Julius Arthur Sanchez SDB –FIS Provincial. Fr. Danilo Torres SDB–Acting FIN Provincial was present to witness the occasion. The event was likewise attended by other Salesians, Cooperators, Religious Sisters, aspirants, alumni, seminary workers and many young people among whom the two new brothers have carried out their Sunday apostolate for the past year. 
    During their novitiate year, this batch of newly professed Salesians had called themselves “GC Novices” in allusion to the current General Chapter. But the initials GC stand for “Grace of Christ.” Hence, on their First Profession, they had taken inspiration from St. Paul who wrote "My grace is sufficient for you" (2 Cor: 12:19).
    After their First Profession, Bro. Donnie and Bro Noble will continue their Philosophy in Don Bosco  College in Canlubang (FIN).Let us welcome our two new confreres with support through our prayers.Click here to comment on this item. You will need to enter 20eao02 when asked for a password.
